GSM Monitoring and Protection of Power Transformer

Abstract

Over the past years electricity has become the vital element in any country's growth. In addition to it, the per capita income and industrial or trade expansion also depends upon the electricity generation of that region. However, in Pakistan, over a decade, electricity generation has become a difficult task to achieve due to certain political and .financial constraints. As a result, the only hope for betterment would come by working on the distribution side so as to bridge the gap between the electricity demand and generation. This paper proposes a protection mechanism which would protect the distribution transformer for effective monitoring and protection of the power system. The sole objective of the proposed methodology is to work on a GSM based monitoring mechanism to ensure protection of the power system against phase faults. Moreover, an ease is also created at the management to easily de-energize and re-energize the power system over GSM whenever a fault occurs. Effectual guarding of the transformer would cut down the maintenance costs and power losses at a massive extent.
